The Numeus Group is proud to announce the appointment of Bill Daley as a Partner in its asset

management division, Forteus. Bill is former Vice Chairman of both JPMorgan and Wells Fargo,

and previously served as Chief of Staff under President Obama and Secretary of Commerce

under President Clinton. In his new role, he will help accelerate the build out of Forteus’

institutional strategic relationships and partnerships.

​

Founded in 2021, the Numeus Group is a digital asset investment firm led by a seasoned team of

professionals from the hedge fund, blockchain, and technology sectors, with offices in New York,

London, Zug (Switzerland), and Mauritius. Forteus, the group’s asset management division,

develops institutional-grade digital asset products with focus on liquid strategies, and is backed

by Schroders, the FTSE 100 global asset management firm.

​

Mr. Daley’s appointment underscores Forteus’s strategic commitment to the U.S. market, joining

a growing US-based leadership team that includes Group CEO Nobel Gulati, the former CEO of

Two Sigma Advisers.

​

“I am impressed by the depth of experience and institutional caliber of the Numeus team and the

quality of their offering,” said Mr. Daley. “I’m excited to help bring this emerging asset class to a

broader range of U.S. institutional investors.”

​

Nicolas Vanhoutteghem, President of Forteus, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Bill to the

Forteus leadership team. We launched Forteus three years ago with the ambition to become one

of the leading institutional asset managers for liquid crypto strategies. Bill’s addition to the Forteus

team is a key step towards us realising this vision in the largest investor market in the world.”

​

Mr. Daley’s arrival comes at a time of renewed optimism and regulatory progress for the crypto

industry in the U.S., with more constructive engagement from the SEC, Congress, and the White

House. Digital assets are increasingly gaining acceptance as a mainstream alternative asset

class, bolstered by the rise of institutional custodians and the successful launch of several spot

crypto ETFs by the largest global asset managers in 2024.

​

Nobel Gulati, CEO of the Numeus Group, added: “We are at a pivotal moment for the digital

asset industry in the U.S. We are excited to have Bill join the Forteus team and contribute his

leadership and extensive experience with top-tier financial institutions to further strengthen

Forteus’s institutional presence and credibility in this key market.”
